At Alight, we’re on a mission to kick carbon off the grid by helping large businesses transition to solar energy. As we continue expanding across the Nordics — including utility-scale solar, BESS, Energy Hubs, and powered land initiatives — grid strategy is becoming one of the most critical enablers of our growth.

We’re now looking for a Senior Grid Manager to own and shape Alight’s Nordic-wide grid strategy and help ensure our development pipeline is built around what is actually grid-realistic.

This is a highly strategic role sitting within the Development team, where you will act as the senior grid voice across the business — guiding origination, portfolio decisions, partner selection, and cross-functional initiatives related to grid capacity, congestion, and connection strategy.



YOUR IMPACT
What you’ll do

Shape Alight’s Nordic grid strategy

* Develop and continuously evolve Alight’s grid strategy across the Nordic markets


* Translate country-specific grid realities, congestion, reinforcement plans, regulations, and connection processes into actionable guidance for Development and Origination teams


* Advise on which project concepts (solar, solar+BESS, Energy Hubs, powered land, co-location with wind) are most viable depending on local grid conditions


* Support portfolio steering and investment decisions from a grid feasibility perspective



Act as Alight’s senior grid counterpart

* Lead senior-level relationships with TSOs, DSOs, and relevant regulatory bodies across the Nordics


* Anticipate and interpret regulatory and market developments related to grid access and connection procedures


* Support escalations and strategic discussions with grid operators and authorities



Support strategic development and acquisitions

* Partner closely with JDAs & Acquisitions teams to evaluate partner pipelines and M&A opportunities


* Develop practical grid evaluation frameworks and decision criteria for project screening


* Assess grid risks, opportunities, and constraints for strategic investment decisions



Guide complex grid execution

* Provide guidance and decision support to Project Developers and Grid Connection Managers on complex or high-risk connection cases


* Review and sign off on major connection strategies and grid offers for strategically important projects


* Capture lessons learned and continuously improve internal standards, policies, and decision-making frameworks



Collaborate cross-functionally

You’ll work closely with:

* Development teams on project strategy and pipeline prioritisation


* Revenue and Asset Management teams on how grid conditions affect tariffs, imbalance exposure, and commercial opportunities


* Engineering teams on BESS, Energy Hubs, and grid integration concepts


* External stakeholders including TSOs, DSOs, regulators, and development partners






WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU
* Has strong experience working with grid connections, grid strategy, power systems, or grid development within the energy sector


* Understands Nordic grid markets, connection processes, congestion challenges, and regulatory environments


* Has experience engaging with TSOs, DSOs, utilities, regulators, or large infrastructure stakeholders


* Can combine strategic thinking with practical understanding of how projects get connected in reality


* Is comfortable operating cross-functionally between Development, Revenue, Engineering, and external partners


* Has strong communication and stakeholder management skills


* Enjoys solving complex infrastructure and development challenges


* Is fluent in English



Experience within renewable energy, utility-scale solar, BESS, or energy infrastructure projects is highly valued.
